the resolution and the motion was seconded
by Alderman Schwarz, who said that he
could not see the necessity for the resolution
in any form. He had heard complaints
enough about the short water supply. Only
week ago-a few days ago-he had seen
something about the matter in the paper,
and he thought the resolution was some
thing similar. He thought it ought to be
laid on the table. The resolution was not
adopted.
Health Officer Mcfarland made a report
in which he stated that at the request of the
Sanitary Board he had made an examina-
ton of Bilbo Canal, and had found it in bet
ter condition than for some time past. The
canal had been disinfected twice during the
summer, and as the freshet had kept the
water four feet above low water mark, the
volume of water in the canal had pre-
vented the rising of as much foul gas and

COTTON PROSPECTS.
All the Indications Point to a Good
Crop.

All the Indications Point to a Good
Crop.
A number of cotton factors were seen yes
terday for the purpose of asceruaining the
condition of the cotton crop. The heavy rains
and the floods did so much damage to other
crops that it was feared at one time that the
cotton yield would be greatly decreased.
The acreage this season was larger in
Georgia than last, and it was expected a
large crop would be produced. The factors
seen all confessed that they had information
from only a limited section, but by COM
pairing all their views and data, fair aver
age was arrived at, on which to base re-
port.
The reports vary greatly. In some sec
tions the plant is strong and thrifty, with
large well developed bolls. In others a
premature growth threatens to decrease the
yield. Again the food destroyed consider
able on the low lands in some counties, and
the caterpillar was dreaded pest in Others
But altogether, taking all the reports, the
average is good and a large majority of
those seen agreed that the crop would be
larger than last year, not ouly i'll Georgia
but In the country. Year before last the
crop was some 6,S00,00O bales, last year
$500 600: this year they say the figures will
go up close to 100000 A few thought
100000 would be nearer the figure, as the
great drought in Texas might have bad
effect, causing big decrease
AS regards the Georgia yield, there was
little or no diversity of opinion. On July
the prospects were good for an unprece-
dented crop, but the losses by the floods,
rains and insects were so great that it has
reduced this expected surplus. Nothwith-
standing all this. however, all the factors
expressed themselves as sanguine regarding
good crop, and one greater than last year
or the one previous TO that. Picking is now
being busily carried on, as the planters are
anxious to take advantage of the present
clear weather. Advices received by the
Central railroad authorities indicate a good
yield. Shipments have already begun and
will increase from this time on. Fully
1900 bales have been received here since the
first of the month

THE CITY SHORT OF WATER.
But 1t was Only for Short While and
There Will be no More Trouble.

But 1t was Only for Short While and
There VIII be no More Trouble.
For nearly two hours yesterday morning
the city was without water, and there were
loud complaints from every one who wanted
or needed it. Supt. Miller, Of the water
works, was called up by telephone, and he
explained the cause of the lack of supply
He said that the small pump broke down,
and when it was taken apart it was found
that all its valves were worn out. A COM
plete set of new valves was put in, and the
pump was started to work again. From
that time it furnished "a sufficient sup
ply to meet the wants of the water
users and Mr.. Miller says it viii continue to
do so until the new pump is in. The parts
which are now needed for the large pump
will be shipped from New York to-day, and
they will arrive here Sunday morning.
They will be put in at once, and by Sunday
night the water supply will be better than
it has ever been before In the meantime
the small pumps will keep up a sufficient
pressure, and no further trouble is expected.

A BURGLARS FAILURE.
The Burglar Alarm Frightens Off a
Would-be Thief.

An attempt was made at about $50
o'clock yesterday morning to rob Gray q
0'Brien's store on Broughton street. The
burglar alarm sounded its warning
at about that time and the watch
men FASTENED to the store at once.
When entered, however, an open
rear window showed how the alarmed burg
lar had taken his departure. A thorough
search failed to discover anyone in the
room, or in the cellar. The supposition is
that the person managed to hide in the eel
lar, some way, during the day. and was
locked up in the building. When he ventured
up and opened the door the alarm sounded its
warning, and he at once made haste to es-
cape. An officer saw a white man lettering
on the corner of Broughton and Whitaker
streets, Just before the alarm was sounded,
but there was nothing sufficient to warrant
an arrest. After the failure of the attempt
to rob the store he had disappeared 1t is
thought probable that two were concerned
in the contemplated robbery and that one
was to be on the outside to help carry off

SLOW BUT SURE.
The Cyclone of the Virginia Coest
Cold Wave Still Advancing.

The Cyclone of the Virginia Coest
Cold Wave Still Advancing.
While yesterday was hot day the pros
poets ahead will reconcile everybody to it.
The maximum temperature was 92' and the
average So, being 2 above the normal, The
temperature in this cotton belt rose slightly,
Smithville and Townsville reporting 9S'.
In all the other cotton districts the tempera-
ture fell. The temperature rose
slightly in the South Atlantic States
and the Florida peninsula The
highest temperature reported last night
was So at Rio Grande, and the lowest at
Marquette AS. The extreme Northwest
reported so. Notwithstanding the rise of
the temperature here yesterday, which was
due to local causes, the cold wave is slowly
advancing in this direction.
The wilmington cotton district reports
rainfall of .l2 inches Galveston 30 inches,
Augusta, Memphis and New Orleans dis
trlcts each | inch. Light rains fell in the
New England and the South Atlantic States,
the lake region and the extreme Northwest.
A telegram was received from the chief
signal officer from Washington at IL a. m.
yesterday stating that the cyclone was then
central of the Carolina coast and moving
slowly northeasterly, and dangerous north
east gales were expected along the North
Carolina coast-dangerous to the shipping
interests, The midnight report showed
that the cyclone was then central
off the Virginia coast, but was also further
out to sea than at the time of the previous
report. The Hatteras wires being down no
reports were received from there last night.
No more danger was apprehended from the
cyclone, and at midnight the observer
received orders to take down the danger
flag. Although the cyclone did no damage
here, yet the damage to shipping may be
great. 1t is probable that ali incoming YES
sells for some days will have reports of their
encounters with the storm, and it will be
fortunate if no shipwrecks or loss of life

The Auditor Makes a Partial State

was collected and turned in to Catherwood,
and he kept memoranda of it, but put the
money in his pocket. He turned the slips
over TO the auditor, and thus materially as
sisted that officer in ascertaining the amount
taken without calling up the gas-takers
throughout the city, and making them show
their receipts The list of delinquent Gus
toners has not yet been examined. That
may increase the amount in default. The
American Surety Company, which is the
guuarantor of Catherwood has had its
agent, Mr.. Manning, here looking into the
defalcation. 1t is understood that the guar
antor will settle with the Gas Company as
soon as the proofs of loss are presented,
after which it will proceed against Gather

FREE FROM PAIN.
Death of Mrs w. D, Dixon, After a
Long and Painful Illness.

Mrs. Carrie c., wife of w. D. Dixon, died
last night at 8 o'clock, after very painful
illness of five weeks. Mrs. Dixon was taken
sick July 20 of enlargement of the spleen,
followed by dropsy. The best of medical
aid was called in and all that loving care
could suggest was done, but in vain,
and she failed from day to day, till
few days ago when all hope of her final
recovery was given up. Yesterday morn
ing she began sinking rapidly. She was UNI
conscious for the last few hours preceding
her demise, and free from pain. Mrs. Dix
on, nee Theus, was born and brought up in
Savannah and had host of friends and &C
quaintances in and out of the
city She was married Feb. 81, 1888,
and was Capt. Dixon's second wife. Her
sweet and amiable disposition and attractive
qualities won the respect ard esteem of all,
and she was the idol of her home. Mrs.
Dixon's own parents are dead, and two sis
tiers and brother-Mrs. G. G.. Lebey and
Mrs. Fred H. Gates, and Mr.. B. F. Theus-
survive her. The funeral will probably not
occur till Friday, but due notice will be
given.

A PERTINENT QUESTION,
Which Citizen Would Like to Have
Answered.

Editor Morning Ne,Os: In Tuesday
mornings issue of the News a paragraph
appeared referring to a brick-batting of
William Briscoe by James Ballantyne, bet
ter known as "Spitfire." l am Informed,
and have it from good authority, that the
victim of this murderous assault, is now ly-
ing at st Joseph's Intirmary in most crit
ical condition. As he is an humble, hard
working boy, and was engaged at his work
when assaulted, is it not to be supposed that
his case would merit the attention of our
prosecuting officers!
The object of this communication is to
call attention to the fact that this brickbat
assailant is still at large, and was heard on
Bay Green last night singing comic song
which he had dedicated to his victim.
This dangerous character is known to
every police officer on the force and | ask,
as an humble citizen, why if, at least. he is
not promptly jailed that there is no surveil-
lance over him.
